Hold up. It’s June and that only means one thing - summer is brewing, beers are pouring and Pride month is here! Join us for a catch-up with the Bristol Bisons RFC - an award-winning inclusive rugby club, a powerhouse of community spirit and one of the standout partners in our BREWED TO GIVE programme.

In case you've been living under a rock, we answer all the must-know questions about BBF's big win. Like, what is this award? Why is it such a big deal? Who even are CAMRA? And most importantly, where can we drink Independence?

BBF is sponsoring the Bristol Birdman - where bold creativity meets real impact. Join us on 14th June as teams leap into the harbour in home-made, human-powered flying machines to support youth work across the city. Drink with purpose. Help communities fly.

We're zoning in on two of our favourite hops in the PRYSMA format - an intense liquid version to maximise efficiency and yield – for two new limited release IPAs.

Community is at the core of Bristol Beer Factory. It’s what we’re built on. It’s our team. Our families. Our friends. Our customers. Our suppliers. It’s Bristol, in all its grit and brilliance. We donate 2% of every beer we sell to charities holding our community together – like the incredible Mazi Project. Hit the fridge, grab a cold can and find out why Mazi needs our support more than ever before.

We're looking for a fun group of pals to help us with a secret project in conjunction with Talk Club. Are you the group to give us a SUMMER TO REMEMBER?

On a sun-soaked Bristol afternoon, apprentice brewer Lewis rates his experience a solid 9/10. From cleaning tanks to crafting IPAs, it’s hard graft, a bit of science and a whole lot of community. Grab a beer and join us as we follow Lewis on his exciting journey into the world of brewing.

Grab your biodegradable glitter and your best wellies; we’re getting set to kick off a SUMMER TO REMEMBER at Charlton Park, Malmesbury. Why we’re digging Shindig’s music, arts and family spirit, and heading to this incredible setting with an independent session-friendly beer in hand.

Walk into a great pub and you feel it straight away. It’s not the hum of conversation, the tapestry of posters and artwork, or the line-up of local beers. It’s the sense that this place really matters - to the regulars and the families living round the corner. Grab yourself a beer whilst we explore four pubs holding their communities together.

International Women’s Day hits different in Bristol. It’s a reminder to show up, speak up, and shape a city that belongs to all of us. Team BBF are marking it with Cowgirl Supernova - a 5% Kölsch brewed by the women of BBF, with purpose and serious main-character energy. Pour it fresh. Be the movement.

In Bristol, rugby is more than a game - it’s a catalyst for change. From classrooms to care homes, the Bristol Bears Foundation and team BBF are channelling matchday energy, into year-round change. Grab yourself a Gates and find out more…

When we launched Black Gates 4.1% Nitro Stout, we said it was PUB ONLY. Now, it's time to come clean, invert, and hard pour...
